[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVE To summarize the clinical related factors and prognostic influence factors of perioperative pulmonary embolism of head and neck malignant tumor.METHODSFrom 2010-2014, our hospital carried out a total of 2736 cases of head and neck malignant tumor surgical operations, of which, 10 cases were clinically diagnosed as postoperative pulmonary embolism, retrospectively analyzed the process of clinical treatment of the patients of pulmonary embolism with head and neck malignant tumors, and summarized their etiological factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment. RESULTS The preoperative period incidence of pulmonary embolism in patients with head and neck malignant tumor was 0.37%(10/2736). Their clinical manifestations were mainly of asthma and breathing difficulty, and 3 cases of asymptomatic hypoxemia. 8 cases of patients showed pulmonary artery and branch filling defects after pulmonary artery angiography (CTA), 7 cases of patients got cured and were discharged from the hospital after comprehensive treatment such as anticoagulation etc; 3 cases of patients died after emergency treatment. 2 cases of patients suffered cavity bleeding, and there was no anticoagulant drug adjustment.CONCLUSIONThe mortality of head and neck cancer patients with perioperative pulmonary embolism is high, and therefore, preventive measures and timely treatments are important to reduce the incidence of pulmonary embolism.

BACKGROUND: At present, many problems deserve to be solved before clinical utilization of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) such as complete differentiation from ADMSCs into cardiomyocytes and ADMSCs with or without specific function of cardiomyocytes. It is of significance to solve the problems including how to elevate the differentiation rate of ADMSCs into cardiomyocytes and how to elevate the homing and survival rate after transplantation for clinical utilization of stem cells.OBJECTIVE: To observe the differentiation of ADMSCs into cardiomyocytes after in vitro culture and induction.DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation.SETTING: Laboratory of Cardiology, General Hospital of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: Adipose tissue was collected from abdominal operative patients at Department of General Surgery of General Hospital of Chinese PLA with the agreement of patients. Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM), type Ⅰ collagenase, 5-azacytidine (5-aza) and polyclonal antibody of specific anti-myocardial Troponin T (TnT) were purchased from Hyclon company, Gibco company, Sigma and Fujian Maixin Biotechnology Company, respectively.Monoclone antibodies of CD44, CD45, CD34, HLA2DR and factor-Ⅷ, Desmin, anti-α-striated muscle actin and anti-myosin heavy chain (MHC) were bought from Beijing Zhongshan Golden Bridge Biotechnology Limited Corporation. DAB stain, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) kit and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) radioimmunity kit were purchased from Beijing Zhongshan Golden Bridge Biotechnology Limited Corporation,Invitrogen and Radioimmunity Research Institute of Science and Technology Development Center of General Hospital of Chinese PLA, respectively.METHODS: The experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Cardiology, General Hospital of Chinese PLA from March 2005 to April 2006. ADMSCs were isolated and cultured by digestion and attachment culture method. The third generation of cells were determined by immunocytochemical method for surface molecule CD44, CD13, CD105, CD45,CD34, HLA-DR, factor Ⅷ and induced by addition of 5-aza into culture medium. On the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th days, gene of GATA4 and Nkx2.5 were tested by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the concentration of atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) were also examined by radioimmunoassay.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Determination of cell surface marker, gene of GATA4 and Nkx2.5, and ANP concentration.and factor Ⅷ negative for the cultured cells. After induction for 7 days with 5-aza, no cells expressed Desmin,α-Sarcomeric Actin, Myocin heavy chain (MHC) and TnT, most cells were positive stained for CD44. After induction for 14 days, small amounts of cells displayed positive for Desmin,α-Sarcomeric Actin and MHC but still negative for TnT,while partial cells expressed positive CD44. After induction for 21 days, most cells were positive for Desmin,α-Sarcomeric after induction and no significant difference was found compared with that at the 7th day [(0.022±0.01) ng/L (P＞0.05].ANP concentration was respectively (7.92±0.21) and (8.12±0.50) ng/L at the 21st day and the 28th day (P＞0.05), but there was significant difference compared with that at the 7th day (P＜0.05).

Dried roots and rhizomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen) are among the most commonly used traditional Chinese medicines in clinic. The material basis for its efficacy mainly includes hydrophobic tanshinones and hydrophilic salvianolic acids. The traditional effects of Danshen are "removing stasis and relieving pain, activating blood to promote menstruation, clearing heart fire and tranquilization". According to modern pharmacological studies, Danshen and its main components have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protective effect. Recent studies showed that Danshen and its main components also demonstrated protective effects on liver injury models induced by carbon tetrachloride, D-galactosamine, acetaminophen and alcohol. In this paper, the hepatoprotective effect and mechanism of Danshen were summarized and studied.

Plasma viral RNA load is widely accepted as the most relevant parameter to assess the status and progression of Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infections. To accurately measure RNA levels of the virus, a one-step fluorescent quantitative assay was established based on the SYBR green Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The lower detection limit of the assay was 10 copies per reaction for the virus. This method was successfully applied to quantify SIVmac251 and SIVmac239 viruses produced in CEM×174 cells. Additionally, the performance of the SYBR green RT-PCR was assessed in a SIVmac251 infected rhesus macaque. The result demonstrated that the method could detect as little as 215 copies per milliliter of plasma and the dynamic pattern of viral load was highly consistent with previous results. With regard to convenience, sensitivity and accuracy our assay represents a realistic alternative to both branched-chain DNA (b-DNA) assays or real-time PCR assays based on TaqMan probes.
